What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?
When we asked expats and global nomads in Austria about their experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system, they replied...
"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Austria. The government has implemented a range of measures to ensure the safety of patients and healthcare workers, including the introduction of telemedicine services, increased testing capacity, and the implementation of contact tracing. In addition, the government has provided financial support to healthcare providers to help them cope with the increased demand for services. Despite these measures, the healthcare system has been under immense strain due to the pandemic, with long waiting times for appointments and a shortage of medical staff. Nevertheless, the healthcare system in Austria has been able to cope with the pandemic and provide quality care to those in need," said another expat in Austria.
"Hospitals conduct screenIng at the door prior to allowing entry for services, doctor's offices space out appointments and seating," wrote a member who made the move to Lustenau, Austria.
